Third Day: A Long Day

Uncategorized

I had an appointment today with a world class Opthalmic Plastic Surgeon at 12:30, but somehow we did not leave the appointment until 5:15.  Needless to say, we are exhausted.  It was very thorough, so of course we are grateful for that.  Here’s today’s synopsis:

  • All TEN tubes of blood were normal.
  • Today’s MD agrees with scans and biopsy being needed to see if this is truly the type of Lymphoma that we think it is, or if it has “transformed” or if it is a completely different cancer all together.
  • Scheduling is a mess, but we are trying to get a CT scan & PET scan tomorrow, a consult with the Head and Neck Surgeon, and a pre-biopsy physical and anesthesia consult (and I thought today was long).
  • We have a biopsy scheduled for Friday with today’s doctor.  She plans to only sample the area near my eye – a tumor on the lacrimal gland.

Thank you for your continued prayers and encouragement.  We are so tired, and we appreciate your uplifting words.

  1. Thank you for keeping us up to date. We continue to think of you and keep you in our prayers.

  3. Praying for continued strength, grace and perseverance as you go through these long days at MD Anderson; but glad you are there getting fine treatment. Your Blog is so uplifting – reading your scripture verses and going back as far as the song that you posted when you and Jonathan were traveling through the Teutons brought tears to our eyes and joy our heart just knowing you are such a family of faith. We KNOW God is getting the Glory through all of this because of your strong testimony. Looking forward to seeing your precious children, Donna and Everett tomorrow night and taking them to dinner in Nashville. Will keep reading….and praying! Love, Len and William

  4. This must have been another long day for you and Jonthan. We are still saying our prayers for the two of you,and knowing God has been there every single minute has been a comfort to us and also your strong faith and belief in Jesus. Sleep good tonite and dream Mormor is there humming the Noniesong to you. We love you as always.
